A Message from fr. Jason Grisafi
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Three weeks ago I shared with you a new set of COVID protocols announced by the diocese.
We know that in that time protocols have been changing in both New York State and the
United States. Consequently, the diocese has also revised their guidelines. For that reason, I
have another new set of protocols to announce to you today. With a single notable exception,
these protocols are effective immediately:
Adopting current CDC guidelines, fully vaccinated individuals are not required to wear
masks nor maintain social distancing. Parishioners who desire to wear a mask may certainly
do so.
Parishes (and their staff and volunteers) are not to enforce mask and social distancing
guidelines. Parishes will not ask people for proof of vaccination.
The diocesan announcement noted this line from the current NY State protocols: “For areas
where vaccination status of individuals is unknown and for patrons who do not present
proof of full vaccination status, the required social distance of 6 feet still applies until more
New Yorkers are fully vaccinated.” Since our parishes fall into this category, we do ask
those coming to our church to be mindful of this guideline.
"All practices such as taking temperatures, contract tracing, etc. should cease" though a
reasonable exception can be made for our nursery school since they have additional state
guidelines that they are required to follow.
"Clergy and Extraordinary Ministers should continue to wear masks when distributing Holy
Communion until further notice."
"The general dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday and Holy Days of
Obligation Masses will end the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, August 14/15,
2021." Because of the moral importance of this change we will be announcing it multiple
times in the coming months. We also ask parishioners to help spread the news by
informing each other. This means that the normal obligation to attend Sunday and Holy
Day Masses will be back in effect starting on Sunday, August 15th of this year.
The continuing use and frequency of live-streamed Masses is under discussion by the
priests.
Sincerely,
fr. Jason

Sacrificial Giving
Thank you for your generosity in returning to God and God’s work some of what God has given to you.
May 23, 2021
Collection: $10,277 Faith Direct: $5,000 Total: $15,277
* Weekly Budget: $20,000 Difference: ( - ) $4,723
*Note: We noticed that our calculation of our weekly goal was slightly off because it was based on
52 Sundays in the year. However, since Easter is always on a Sunday and is counted separately there was a
need to adjust the goal from $19,615 to $20,000.
We have seen a significant (approximately 25%) jump in electronic donations through Faith Direct.
A big thanks to all who have switched to electronic giving, or increased their giving amount!
If you would like to sign up for electronic giving, but need assistance, please call the parish office and
we can help you sign up.
*Please note there are issues with the delivery of our mail from the Post Office which contributes to the
fluctuations in our weekly collections.*
Our Parish also has the ability to accept on-line donations through a
program known as FAITH DIRECT.
It is a secure on line program which allows donations to electronically go to the Parish.
You have the ability to adjust your settings for any amount or frequency.
All details and even a video explaining FAITH DIRECT are on the website at:

If you have any questions, please give the office a call. Thank you for your generosity.

Deacon’s Column
Living the Trinity
The crucifixion of Christ is a fact of history. It occurred on a particular day at a particular place.
The Church calls that particular day “Good Friday”. The New Testament calls that particular place
“Calvary”. The crucifixion of our Lord is a fact – something that actually occurred on the stage of
human history. But it is more than that. It is a principle of life. It is a way of living. It is the symbol of
a universal law that belongs to the spiritual realm just as surely as the law of gravity belongs to the
physical realm. That law simply stated is this: No salvation is possible until someone who is not guilty
assumes the burden of human guilt.
That is what Jesus did on the cross. He was not responsible for the prejudice, the hatred, and the
cruelty that corrupted the people and the institutions of that day. But he voluntarily took that burden
upon himself and carried it to Calvary. Then his disciples began to see that part of that collective guilt
belonged to them, and they could not escape the conclusion that Christ had died for their sins. And once
that truth had been faced, they could not escape a sense of an unpayable indebtedness. And that sense of
indebtedness began to find expression in the way that they lived.
That, my friends, is what the cross should mean in your life and mine. It stands back there in
history as a tragic and magnificent fact. But it also stands here in our midst as an inescapable
indebtedness. If he paid that price for us, then how can we not be willing to pay that price for one
another? On this Trinity Sunday, let us remind ourselves that we can share in the suffering of the Son.
Our final thought is this: We can know the living presence of the Holy Spirit. For some reason,
when most of us think about God, our minds become telescopic, and we start staring at the stars. Or
they become historic, and we start looking at the past. Or they become prophetic, and we start dreaming
of the future. All of these concepts of God are valid. He is up there in the stars. He is back there in the
past. He is out there in the future. God is everywhere. But that broad generalization means very little to
us as we struggle with the challenges of daily living. We need something more than that. We need what
Jesus had in mind, when he said, “Know that I am with you always, until the end of the world.”
If we think of God only as the Father in heaven, them he can seem a long way off. And if we
think of him only as he was revealed in the life and death and resurrection of Jesus, then he can seem
along way back. But if we also think of him as the Divine Spirit who lives within us, then God becomes
the faithful friend who is always there. We can talk with him. We can get to know him in the everyday
business of living.
You and I may never be able to understand or explain the doctrine of the Trinity. But that
limitation need not deprive us of its truth. We can do something better than explain it; we can live it.
We can anchor our lives in the unfailing love of the Father. We can share in the sacrificial suffering of
the Son. And we can know the living presence of the Holy Spirit.
Live, Love, Learn
Deacon Mike

and safe holiday.
Registration for the 2021-2022 year has begun. Registration forms have been mailed to
all the faith formation families. Please return your registration forms as soon as possible.
We will resume classes in the building in the fall but families will have the option of
working from home if it makes them feel more comfortable. Please check the back of
the registration form for your options.
Great news… the faith formation classes are being cleaned and painted! This past year had its
challenges due to the pandemic and we understand that it was difficult for some families to work with
their children at home. We took the opportunity to have the rooms cleaned and painted while they were
empty. Thank you to all the families that contributed to the Faith Formation Program this year.
We couldn’t have done this without your support.
Registration for the 2020-2021 is still open for those who missed this year. Families have until the
end of June to register for this year so that they can complete the work over the summer and not fall
behind for next year.
Level 8 Confirmation – Confirmation was celebrated last Tuesday and Thursday. Thank
you to all the volunteers and staff that helped make these celebrations possible.
The First Eucharist Masses have begun! We are so happy to celebrate the First
Communion Masses this year but please don’t make this the last time you receive Communion
this year. We hope to see you at Mass on the weekends again. Please pray for our First
Communion children and their families.
RESERVATIONS FOR MASS ARE NO LONGER NEEDED!!!
Unit Reviews – there are 5 unit reviews for levels 1-6. Students need to answer the questions and return

Monthly Reviews for levels 7 & 8 – please send your monthly reviews to the Faith Formation Office as
you complete them.
Monthly Mass Reflections and/or Mass attendance – the Mass reflection form can be
found on the website: stjosephsbabylon.org, Faith Formation, Monthly Mass Reflection
Form. Parents should be talking with their children about the Mass and what they learned
from it and parents should fill out the reflection and submit it. If you wish to attend Mass
in person, you can hand in a Mass attendance envelope in the collection basket instead
of doing a Mass reflection. Attendance envelopes can be found in the back of the church and hall.
Please ask an usher or greeter if you can’t find them.
Our Confirmation Candidates have been doing some amazing community service projects!
We will feature some of the best projects each week in the bulletin. Here are just a few great examples:
Aidan and his family took a bike ride across town to drop off food and organize bins into categories (PB&J,
pastas, soups, crackers and chips). Aidan also helped his cousin with his school work during the pandemic.
James participated in food drives at his school, he wrote thank you letters to essential workers and
he helped shovel snow.
Caelie made cards for health care workers and nursing home patients. She said that the doctors have worked so
hard to take care of COVID patients and they risked getting it themselves and nursing home patients may have
been lonely because they couldn’t have visitors. She also helped her parents with the Cystic Fibrosis walk to help
raise money to find a cure. Her brother has CF.The Most Holy Trinity Page 12

RENDERING TO CAESAR…
The pandemic has taken its toll on all of us in many ways and I am no
exception. Though it continues to puzzle my family, the first thing I read in the
morning is the obituaries. Being unable to acknowledge, support, and honor the dearly
departed and their families was a continued disappointment to me, and while I
responded by the written word, it simply was not the same as being there.
I recently had what my children refer to as a “doubleheader” (two wakes in the same day). The early
one was for a teaching colleague of 50 years ago, the second for a fellow bass in the group in which I sing.
John had true musical talent (among his many) and was eager to share his expertise if asked. When I joined
the group, I could not read music nor distinguish a sharp from a flat. As rehearsals continued, my limitations
became obvious and bothersome to the others in my section. I remember distinctly after one of my truly
awful attempts, John turned around and simply shook his head. That was all he did, but it was enough. I then
began to work hard to master my responsibilities to the other members of the group. John was very
encouraging during my renaissance of sorts, and he and I developed a special friendship.
John recently passed away, and members of the group sang at his wake. Of course, I went to his
funeral as well, where praises for the gentlemanly, supportive, and faithful life he lived resounded among
those in attendance. After the recessional, his casket was on the sidewalk outside the church, draped with an
American flag. After Taps, two servicemen slowly and honorably folded the flag and presented it to John’s
loving widow.
Though intended as a temporal token of appreciation from his country, this tradition spoke volumes
of the Christlike life John had lived. It reflected service, loyalty, bravery, and the willingness to lay down his
life for another. I was deeply moved.
On this Memorial Day weekend, let us note in our hearts and in our actions those like John who put
others before themselves.Sunday, May 30, 2021 Page 13

Thank you !
Our most sincere thanks to our dear Fr. David Atanasio who led Outreach’s basement and Parish
Center cleaning project. Fr. Dave is well known for his joy, kindness, and enthusiasm which
energizes the team. What a wonderful experience to see youth and adults working together helping
each other while having lots of fun. Let’s pray to the Lord to get our normal life back soon.
A large dumpster was filled in less than three hours due to successful teamwork. This was possible
thanks to the army of volunteers who once again came to the rescue. We would like to extend our
special thanks to the students, parents, and teachers of St. John the Baptist High School as well as
the Knights of Columbus, we always can count on them. Thank you to all our amazing volunteers.
You are why we survive and thrive.
I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things.

Del Escritorio de p. Jason
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Hace tres semanas les anuncié nuevas reglas de COVID anunciadas por nuestra diócesis. Desde
ese tiempo, las recomendaciones del CDC han cambiado y el gobierno cambió sus reglas,
también. Por consiguiente, la diócesis modificó sus reglas. Pues, les anuncio nuevas reglas.
Estas directrices están en efecto inmediatamente sino una excepción indicada abajo:
Quienes están vacunados completamente no tienen que llevar máscaras ni mantener
distancia social. Parroquianos que desean llevar la máscara pueden llevarla.
Las parroquias (y sus empleados y voluntarios) no deben hacer cumplir las directrices de
las máscaras o distancia social. Las parroquias no van a pedir por prueba de la vacuna.
El anuncio del diócesis mencionó esta frase de las reglas del gobierno del estado: En los
edificios donde no se puede saber si los individuos tienen la vacuna, o donde no pide por una
prueba de la vacuna, se necesita mantener la distancia social. Porque nuestra parroquia es un
lugar como esto, pedimos a todo a considerar esta regla.
"Toda las directrices como tomar la temperatura, inscribir para asistir, etc. deben parar,"
pero hay una excepción para nuestro jardín de infancia porque ellos tienen que seguir otras
reglas.
"Cleros y los ministros extraordinarios de la santa comunión deben continuar llevar la
máscara cuando distribuyen la santa comunión hasta nuevo aviso."
"La dispensa general de la obligación de asistir la Misa los Domingos y los días
solemnes obligatorios va a cesar el fin de semana de Agosto 14/15, 2021." Porque este
aviso habla de cosas de importancia moral, vamos a informar a todos de este cambio
continuamente hasta el 15 de Agosto. Además, pedimos a los parroquianos a ayudarnos por
informar a uno a otro de este cambio. Este cambio dice que, empezando el 15 de Agosto de
este año, los católicos de nuestra diócesis tendrían que asistir las misas dominicales y
obligatorias como normal.
Estamos pensando en el uso continuo y la frecuencia de la transmisión de la misa.
En Cristo,
